Most fertility patients in India keep their records in some combination of WhatsApp threads, paper folders, and email attachments. Switching clinics, getting second opinions, or even just answering "what was your AMH last year?" at a routine consult becomes a small ordeal. The Miro Health Passport is built to fix that.
Here's how it actually works, what it's for, and when it earns its place in your fertility setup.
What the Fertility Passport is
A patient-owned record of your fertility journey, in one place, that you control. Conceptually closer to your own Aadhaar-linked health record than to any single clinic's patient portal. It holds:
- Every test result — hormones, scans, semen analyses, genetic tests
- Every cycle's detail — protocol, drug doses, monitoring history, embryology outcomes, transfer data, beta values
- Frozen embryo / gamete inventory
- Current medications and prescriptions
- Consent forms you've signed
- Invoices and treatment-cost history
Why patient-owned matters
Indian IVF patients today face two practical problems:
- Records sit at clinics. Your AMH, prior-cycle data, and embryology history are usually held by the clinic that ran them. Switching means re-collecting paperwork.
- Records get re-done unnecessarily. A new clinic without easy access to your data often repeats tests — costing money and weeks of delay.
The Fertility Passport puts the record with the patient. When you switch clinics, the new clinic sees the full picture on day one. When you visit a second-opinion specialist, you can grant view access in 30 seconds. When you go to a different city for treatment, your local lab's reports are already visible.
How it works in practice
Adding records
Three ways:
- Upload yourself — PDF, photo, or directly from email. The passport reads dates and categorises automatically (hormones, imaging, semen analysis, etc.).
- Auto-add by your connected clinic — once you connect your passport to your treating clinic, every visit's reports flow in.
- Forward lab emails — many Indian diagnostic labs (SRL, Metropolis, Thyrocare, hospital-attached labs) email PDFs. Forward them to your Miro inbox; the passport picks them up.
Connecting a clinic
At a participating clinic, you'll be asked to share your Fertility Passport. It takes one approval. The clinic sees a structured view of your full history — significantly faster than them re-typing your records or you handing over a USB.
Revoking access
When you leave a clinic, you revoke their access in one tap. The clinic loses real-time view of your passport (though they retain copies of work they did during your engagement, as required by record-keeping rules). The passport itself stays with you, intact.
Who the Fertility Passport is most useful for
Patients early in the journey
If you're just starting fertility evaluation, the passport gives you a single home for results from day one. No retrofitting old records — you build the archive as you go.
Patients considering a second opinion or switching clinics
The Fertility Passport is the cleanest way to share your full history with a second-opinion specialist. See our pieces on questions before changing clinics and switching clinics without losing history.
Patients planning a sibling cycle later
If you have a baby through IVF and want a sibling 2–3 years later, the original cycle records matter. A passport keeps them organised through that gap rather than scattered across old emails.
NRI / multi-city patients
If you're flying in from the Gulf, UK, US, Canada, or Australia, or moving between Indian cities for treatment, the passport eliminates the "bring your file" ritual at every consult.
What the passport doesn't do
- It doesn't replace your doctor or substitute for clinical advice
- It doesn't auto-fill data the clinic hasn't shared yet
- It doesn't make medical recommendations on your behalf
- It doesn't override clinic records — the clinic's formal medical record remains the legal record
It's an organisational tool that gives you a single portable copy. The treatment is still done by people, in clinics, with the clinic's records being the official ones.
How it compares to alternatives
| Option | Portable across clinics | Patient owns the data | Structured / searchable |
|---|---|---|---|
| Paper folder | Manually | Yes | No |
| WhatsApp + email threads | Manually | Yes | No |
| Clinic patient app | No (clinic-bound) | No | Yes |
| Generic Drive / iCloud folder | Yes | Yes | Partial |
| Miro Fertility Passport | Yes | Yes | Yes |
The bottom line
The Fertility Passport is most useful as a habit you start early — by the time you actually need to switch clinics or share with a second-opinion specialist, your archive is already built. The setup cost is small; the across-the-journey payoff is significant.
Pair it with a clean records system and the IVF Cost Calculator for end-to-end research and tracking.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Miro Fertility Passport?
It's a patient-owned record of your fertility journey — every test, scan, cycle, medication, and outcome — stored in one place that you control. When you connect to a clinic, that clinic sees your full history on day one. When you leave a clinic, the passport stays with you. It's free to use as a patient.
Is it the same as a clinic's patient app?
No. A clinic's patient app shows you what that clinic has on file. The Miro Fertility Passport is yours — it works across clinics, holds reports from any lab, and travels with you when you switch. If your current clinic uses Miro, your passport is also visible to them; if your next clinic uses Miro, they'll see the same passport without you re-uploading anything.
What kinds of records does the passport hold?
Hormonal blood tests (AMH, FSH/LH, TSH, prolactin, oestradiol), pelvic and scrotal ultrasounds, semen analyses, prior cycle records (protocols, drug doses, monitoring scans, retrieval and embryology data, transfer outcomes, beta values), genetic and specialised tests (PGT-A, sperm DNA fragmentation, ERA), prescriptions, consent forms, and invoices. Anything fertility-relevant.
How does data get into the passport?
Three ways: you upload reports yourself (PDF, photo, or direct from email), your connected clinic adds them automatically as part of your treatment, or you forward lab reports straight from a diagnostic lab's email. Once uploaded, the passport categorises and dates them so they're searchable.
Who else can see my passport?
Only people you explicitly grant access to — most commonly your treating clinic, occasionally a second-opinion specialist. Access is revocable: when you leave a clinic, you can revoke their access in one click. The passport is built around DPDP Act 2023 patient-control principles.
Is the Miro Fertility Passport free?
Yes — for patients, the Fertility Passport and the patient-side Miro features are free. Miro is paid for on the clinic side as part of the IVF EMR subscription. Patients don't pay to use the passport, and they keep their data even if they leave a clinic that uses Miro.
